Vacation complete, e-mail dead
Back from a quick vacation trip. Will backfill with some thoughts and pictures on that later, just wanted to share the good feeling of lacking the usual unread e-mail hangover. I spent the past week deliberately in a wifi-less hotel and only opened the computer once for 30 minutes. Back in the office today, I [...]
Double your revenues
I’ve always hated coins as the most outdated and impractical way to physically represent money, a very virtual concept in itself, especially in the days of electronic banking, chip cards and PayPal accounts. Fortunately Estonian Kroons are all paper notes in real life. We do have coins, but you rearly use something smaller than a [...]
Not-so-safety chair
I was quite proud of the job I did fixing Kusti‘s child safety chair this time. It’s one of those models which can be used either way, facing the direction of travel or the opposite. In theory, at least, as in the rear-facing mode it usually remains under weird angle and kind of wobbly. Not [...]
Aeg on sport
Ets tuli tuppa ja ütles viisakalt “Tere hommikust!”. Siis vaatas kella. 13:27. “Minutid juhivad,” võttis ta kujunenud olukorra tabavalt kokku.
Liminal devices, or if iPhone met Wii
Jaanus, sharing his initial thoughts on Apple iPhone speculates among other things on where the design could go further: … taking the accelerometer (the portrait/landscape detector) and the proximity sensor a bit further and having a Nintendo Wii remote-like capacity to have the phone be fully aware of its 3d orientation and motion vectors. Though [...]
Domestic financial animals
We have all been convinced by media, American Psycho and personal experience that you can recognize successful bankers from their expensive suits — or at least really smart casual wear — and all-n-all sharp looks no matter what the hour. From Lower Manhattan to London City to … well, I guess, Pegasus in the Old [...]
Riesling on fire
On the last Sunday evening of his vacation Ott suddenly discovered that his glass of Alsace Riesling (to accompany ML‘s tasty first chicken salad with tuna dressing in their new kitchen) is throwing out flames.
Mökudraiving
Olles üks neist veidratest inimestest, kellel elu- ja töökoha ning perekonna juurdekasvu tõttu tekkis vajadus jalakäimine ja taksosõit asendada oma autoga alles suhteliselt hilises eas, avanes mul neljapäeval võimalus osaleda EcoDrivingu koolitusel. Mis on tänapäeval on lisaks libedasõidu koolitusele eelduseks vahtralehtedest vabanemiseks esimese legaalselt roolitud kahe aasta järel.
AAPL post-iPhone announcement
So, the Apple iPhone is out. There are enough blogs covering every single aspect of that little piece of history made, so I will not dwell on the product features much. I want one very badly. You want one. And if you don’t, you likely will at some point quite soon. Instead, let me share [...]
Paikne koer ekslikult ÄPO esikaanel
Äripäev Online esikaanele on sattunud suur pilt Tobist. Levinud legendi kohaselt olla Niklas palganud ta meile varajastel alguspäevadel, kus Skype veel ei toetanud videokõnesid ja edukalt telefoniintervjuu läbinud Tobi puhul selgus alles tema esimesel tööpäeval, et ta on koer. Vaatamata väidetele, mida artikli pealkiri Tobile omistab, võin kinnitada et ta on tegelikult jätkuvalt väga paikne [...]
